The Palace Arms Hotel, a 135-year-old heritage structure, has been demolished, prompting concerns from the local community regarding the city's commitment to heritage preservation. Although the hotel is set to be reconstructed using original materials, local resident Gene Threndyle questions whether enough was done to preserve it in its original form. The hotel was listed as a heritage property since 1984, making its demolition a contentious issue, especially for those who treasure its historical significance and contribution to community character.
